Usage
Click the "ruler"-icon in the map toolbar. When clicking on the map
you can now draw a polyline click-by-click, the length is displayed in a popup window (using three scales of measures).
You end editing by double-clicking. Right-click will remove the last drawn point.
By specifying a speed the travel time for the current distance is calculated.
The measure line will be removed when closing the measure window or if clicking the map "swipe" tool button.

It a good feature to measure distant between two place. We must draw correctly in order to calculate, if not we must redraw again. It take time to redraw if long distant.
I suggest the tool could be able to undo step back to place that draw wrong then continue draw forward or another method it should be able to edit the poly-line that finished drawing to the correct one.

I'd like to see a function that would allow me to click on two tracked points and be shown the distance travelled between them.
I know that it can be done with reporting, but a simple right click on a drawn track would be much quicker.

Having too many measurements being displayed just makes the window too big. You could probably combine "m" and "km" by starting with "m" and then displaying "km" once more than 1000 m.
Other units should only be enabled if they are enabled in the Application
